Services offered under Priority of Service
With respect to any qualified job training program, a covered person shall be
given priority over a non-covered person for the receipt of employment,
training, and placement services provided under that program, notwithstanding
any other provision of the law.
Priority, in the context of providing priority of service to covered persons in qualified job training programs, means the right to take precedence over non-covered persons in obtaining services.
Depending on the type of service or resource being provided, taking precedence may mean:

The covered person receives access to the service or resource earlier in time than the non-covered person, or

If the service or resource is limited, the covered person receives access to the service or resource instead of or before the non-covered person.

Please see Job Service staff for applicable eligibility requirements for
specific training programs and please identify yourself as a Veteran or Eligible Spouse to our staff.
